Spirometry is a quick breathing test that checks how well your lungs are working. You’ll be asked to take a deep

breath in and blow out as hard and fast as you can into a mouthpiece.

What results can Spirometry show?

• Normal lung function: Your breathing test results are within the expected range. This suggests your lungs are

  working well and there are no signs of airflow restriction.

• Mild obstruction: There are small signs of reduced airflow. This may be linked to things like asthma, early-stage

  airway irritation, or smoking history. Some people have no symptoms, while others may notice occasional

  shortness of breath or wheezing.

• Moderate obstruction: Airflow is more noticeably reduced. You may experience symptoms such as shortness of

  breath with activity, coughing, or wheezing. Follow-up with your GP is usually recommended, especially if you

  have symptoms or work around respiratory hazards.

• Severe obstruction: Airflow is significantly reduced and breathing may be difficult, especially during physical

  activity. This result usually requires medical follow-up, as it may indicate a more serious respiratory condition.

• Very severe obstruction: Airflow is extremely limited. This can cause significant breathing difficulty and should

  be reviewed urgently with a GP or specialist, especially if symptoms are present.

Important note

Spirometry is a screening tool and results can be affected by factors such as effort, technique, recent illness, or current

respiratory symptoms. If your result is outside the normal range, we may recommend follow-up with your GP for

further assessment.

A hearing test is a simple check of how well you can hear different tones and sound levels. It is commonly used for

workplace health monitoring, especially for people working in noisy environments.

What results can a Hearing Test show?

Normal hearing: Your hearing results are within the expected range and no significant hearing loss has been

identified.

NIHL (Noise-Induced Hearing Loss): Is hearing loss that is consistent with long-term exposure to loud noise

(workplace, environmental, or recreational).

NIHL may be recorded as:

• 25–45 dB: Mild hearing loss

• 45–65 dB: Moderate hearing loss

• Greater than 65 dB: Severe hearing loss

This result indicates hearing loss is present, however it does not automatically mean the person is unfit for work. In

most cases, it can be managed with appropriate controls such as hearing protection, ongoing monitoring, and

workplace noise management. A history of environmental and recreational noise exposure may be noted.

Other: This result indicates that the hearing test findings are not typical of noise-induced hearing loss and may

suggest another type of hearing condition. Further follow-up may be recommended depending on the result.

Important note

A hearing test is a screening tool and results can be affected by factors such as background noise, earwax build-up,

recent illness, or temporary hearing changes. If your result is outside the normal range, we may recommend follow-up

with your GP or an audiologist for further assessment.

Vision screening is a simple check of how well you can see and can help identify changes in eyesight that may affect

daily tasks, driving, or work duties. It is commonly used as part of workplace health monitoring.

Vision screening includes:

• Distance vision assessment

• Near vision assessment

• Colour vision test

What results can Vision Screening show?

Within normal range: Your vision screening results are within the expected range and no concerns were identified

during the screening.

Outside normal range: Your results fall outside the expected range. This may be due to changes in eyesight, not

wearing corrective lenses, or an outdated prescription. Follow-up with an optometrist may be recommended for a full

eye examination.

Important note

Vision screening is a basic screening tool and results can be affected by factors such as fatigue, glare, lighting, dry

eyes, not wearing glasses or contact lenses, or an outdated prescription.

If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, please bring them with you to your appointment.

A musculoskeletal (MSK) screening is a self-report assessment where you’ll be asked about any aches, pains,

discomfort, or injuries you may have. This helps identify whether symptoms may be related to work tasks, or if they

are more likely linked to activities outside of work.

This screening supports early identification of potential issues and helps guide appropriate follow-up if needed.

What is a Grip Strength Test?

A grip strength test measures the strength in your hands and forearms using a handheld device. It can help identify

changes in strength that may be linked to fatigue, strain, or injury, particularly for roles involving manual handling or

repetitive tasks.

What results can this screening show?

Within normal range: No concerns were reported, and grip strength results are within the expected range.

Outside normal range: You have reported discomfort or symptoms, or grip strength results are outside the expected

range. This may indicate a need for further review or follow-up, depending on the findings.

Important note

This screening is based on self-reporting and results may be influenced by recent activity, fatigue, previous injuries, or

existing conditions.

If anything is identified that may affect your ability to safely perform your work duties, this may be reported to the

appropriate person as required (for example, your employer or site contact), to support safe work planning and injury

prevention.

This screening is a short self-report questionnaire designed to support overall health and wellbeing. It helps identify

any factors that may impact your day-to-day wellbeing or your ability to work safely.

This assessment also includes an educational component, where a health professional will review your responses

with you and provide guidance and education where needed.

What does this screening include?

• Wellbeing: You’ll be asked general questions about how you’re feeling, including stress levels and overall

  wellbeing.

• Sleep: This section looks at sleep quality and fatigue, as poor sleep can affect concentration, alertness, and

  safety at work.

• Self-Skin Check Awareness: You’ll be asked questions about your awareness of skin health and self-checking for

  changes. This supports early detection and encourages good health habits.

• Chemical Exposure Questionnaire: This section includes questions about possible exposure to chemicals and

  whether you have noticed any changes in your health or behaviour that could be linked to chemical exposure.

  This helps identify potential risks early and supports appropriate follow-up if needed.

Important note

This screening is based on self-reporting and results may be influenced by current life circumstances, stress, fatigue,

or recent changes in health.

If anything is identified that may affect your ability to safely perform your work duties, this may be reported to the

appropriate person as required (for example, your employer or site contact), to support safe work planning and

wellbeing at work.
